PSYCHOLOGICAL SOVEREIGNTY OF AN INDIVIDUAL AS A REGULATOR OF COMMUNICATIVE ACTIVITY IN RELATION TO THE BOUNDARIES OF DIRECT AND VIRTUAL COMMUNICATION

Abstract

In modern conditions of information and communication redundancy, IT technologies become a means of unauthorized interference in private life; a person tries to maintain a sense of ontological security by developing and manifesting sovereignty. The rapid development of the Internet has led to the fact that the problem of loss of privacy has become defined as one of the main risks of the information society. In the virtual world, the spatial understanding of boundaries is transformed and gradually loses its significance. The article presents a theoretical review of foreign and domestic research devoted to the study of psychological sovereignty of an individual in the aspect of regulation of communicative activity in relation to the boundaries of direct and virtual communication. In the context of the problems of sovereignty, the basic concepts reflecting the issues of privacy, psychological space, personality boundaries, personal autonomy are revealed. The relevance and practical significance of the study of the role of the sovereignty of social ties in the regulation of communicative activity in relation to the boundaries of direct communication and communication in the Internet space is indicated. The problems of safe communication on the Internet, the preservation of privacy, the sovereignty of an individual from the standpoint of the psychology of the subject are raised. The results of the study will contribute to the formation of value orientations regarding respect for personal space, preservation of sovereign existence in conditions of information saturation and risk-taking social existence. They can become the basis for the development of programs for psychological prevention and reduction of communicative deviations.
